Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 06, 2009 11:21 am Hi, We are building Monterey with Henley in Brimbank Gardens. We 've bought a block in stage 30A1 of brimbank gardens and the land is due to be titled only in early June 09. If we wait for the land to be titled and do the soil test to determine the site cost, we might not be able to sign the building contract before June 30. Henley has quoted 16 K as a fixed price for the site cost. Just wanted to ask if that is a genuine price . Has anybody built in nearby stages in brimbank gardens or have been quoted a fixed price for the site cost from Henley or another builder.Is there really that much rock in brimbamk gardens because builders keep saying that. Please update. Re: Site Cost with Henley in Brimbank Gardens..need help 2May 06, 2009 11:26 am Hi and welcome to the forum.

There is definitely a fair bit of rock out there. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

I think this is the average around the estate. We always heard the same thing about rocks from different builders when we shopped around. It seems that an area having plenty of rock is their default response when talking about site costs. Re: Site Cost with Henley in Brimbank Gardens..need help 4May 06, 2009 9:23 pm We are also building with Henley and have been quoted site & slab cost of $27k (wating for another soil compaction report to reclassify down to something less ). From what I head that sounds ok if they are willing to fix it.
